PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Brain Forcing In ChiIdhood-A simple
Remedy for Insomnia.

DIR. William A. Hammond, in considering
in Popular Science the subject Of brain fore
ing in childhood, states that the brain Of a
child is larger in proportion 10 its body than
is that Of an adult \ fact somewhat aston
ishng 10 those not aware Of It, is that the
bead Of n boy or girl does not grow IN size
after the seventh year. 50 that the hat that Is
worn al that age can be worn just as well at
80 In the mean time the rest Of the body
has more than doubled in magnitude Not
only is the brain larger, but 1t Is more exclta-
ble and impressiOnable in the child than IN
the adult At the same time the structure IS
immature What il possesses IN size 1t lacks
in organization; consequently it Is not at its
maximum for severe and long continued ex-
eriion, and when subjected TO a strain Of this
kind il is certain 70 suffer. We have all Of
Us seen children become mentally iatigued
from very slight causes, even when they have
been at the same time greatly interested
How much more therefore, must their brains
b. tired when they have been forced 10 con-
centrate their attention upon subjects the i'm
portance Of which they DO not understand.
The child, says Dr. Hammond, should be
taught how TO acquire knowledge 10y the use
of his senses, and there are facts enough sur
rounding him 10 keep him as much engaged

late years become so general, has increased

The bandage gives the required pressure on
